Hi, I picked this pattern because of it’s similarity to a couple of Fatface Popovers I bought in the winter sale and also, while researching the Birkin flares I came across several really beautiful versions of the pattern.

I made the tunic with 3/4 sleeves, it went together quite easily and the instructions were very, very detailed, they hold your hand through the whole stitching experience.

you make the tab first

Then you make up the back, using what I assume is the Taco method for the yoke

there are a couple of nice details on it, the cuffs for instance are surprisingly easy to put together and look very professional,

the whole thing has french seams even the arm holes, the shirt is put together flat then the side seam and underarm seem is sewn last.

The one thing that I’m not sure I agree with is the hem is stitched separately on the back and front then the side seams are done

If I was to make it again there are a couple of things that I would change, the  front tab reaches my belly button definitely not sure about that, also the the tab on my Fatface shirts are thinner which I think I prefer.

I’m not sure if the fabric I used is slightly too stiff though I thought it was a light weight Lawn. the back doesn’t seem to lay properly but I think I might wash the fabric again before looking into this issue.

The reason this is not finished is because I can’t decide on the buttons, any suggestions?
